The Volcano eruption in Iceland and a nailcontest!!


Photo by Reuter, you can find it over here.

Hi sweet readers,

Well today again a day without planes :-(
Because of the eruption of the volcano in Iceland all airtraffic is forbidden over The Netherlands.
For us people.....who live in the neighbourhood of Schiphol it is getting used to the silence in our environment. It is so quiet!!!! No planes in the air, no stripes in the sky.....no sound of roaring engines above your head (sometimes it is bad).
Nothing, total silence........wow....
In my live I never experienced something like this. Living my whole live here surrounded by the sight of planes and their sounds it really is strange.

And all those poor people who can't go to their homes and beloved ones. People who have to miss the burials or births of family or friends because they are stranded here. It's awfull for them. I think of them all and hope that this cloud of ash will be gone very soon.



But our sky was looking awesome yesterday.
Look at this gorgeous photo.
I got it from a dutch newssite and it was made by a dutch guy Bob Kerssens.



The website you can find over here.


Now after this some updating concerning a nailcontest!!!

Herôme "Dublin Soft and Sweet"



Goodmorning/evening sweet followers and readers how are you doing today?

Already tuesday and an other day at the office.

Yesterday I had so much fun with my collegues about my nails.
They are always asking and looking what's new on my nails.
They are so adorable "my guys" :-))
The fun was al about winning a contest. Yes me!! Winning in a nailcontest
in the Netherlands. A Sally Hansen nailart-contest inspired on Brigitte Bardot
who stood in those days for a lot of glamour.
So the mani must be glamorous. They choose three of the nicest contributions.
I was one of those three!!!
I never win anything in my life so I was really surprised.
I won with my China Glaze mani which you find over here at my blog.

Secretly I feel a little bit proud.

But enough about that.
For today a mani from a while ago.
It's an other one from Herôme.

I can tell you that the Herôme polishes are all a bit thick.
So you have to use some thinner to make them a bit easier to apply.
For this one I used two layers of polish and apart from the thickness
of this polish it is a really dense polish and it covered my nails real
good.
And despite that fact I love them all a lot!

This is Herôme W.I.C. Dublin 64.
A lovely soft and sweet color. Not a prominent one at all.
So you can use it when you are having your interview for a new job ;-)

Well look for yourself!





I wish you all a great day or evening and hope to see you soon!
Bye bye and thanks for reading.

China Glaze Devotion topped with Fairy Dust



Goodevening dear people!

I wasn't much online this past week so I do not know how everybody
is doing at the moment. Of course I hope you all do well.

I had a tough and exhausting week and I am feeling a bit tired at the moment.
But it will pass I guess.

For today's post I made a simple mani.
My daughter bought some gorgeous nailpolishes (China Glaze) at a wholesaler a while ago. She bought some for me too.

I picked two of my new ones: Devotion and Fairy Dust both from China Glaze.



I personally think it is a lovely color. I topped it with Fairy Dust.
Still in the bottle I thought....behhhhh.....but on my nails I said WAUW.....





Such a lovely polish. Meant to be a topcoat and I love it.
Such tiny sparkles in it. They made the right choice to name it Fairy Dust.
It looks like that all over your nails. Gorgeous.



Well take a look for yourself.

That was all for today. I wish you al the best and a very nice weekend and maybe till
a next time.
Take care and love from me.
